Kayaker has rocks thrown and observes the culprit near Union Grove

Last summer the witness was kayaking down a creek around midday when rocks splashed near him. He looked toward the source and saw a creature kneeling like a person, which then stood, made eye contact for about 30 seconds, and ran through the woods. He noted its stride was wider than a human's and it went straight through brush. He then paddled back to his truck.

Daylight sighting of a Bigfoot outside Muscle Shoals

Two companions were deer hunting near their camp in the late afternoon when they heard loud popping sounds, heavy footsteps, and a foul odor.

After a brief stare the creature stepped back into the woods and the witnesses fled and have avoided hunting deep in that area since.

5 January 2000 Opelika/Auburn Area, Lee County, Alabama Class A #7427

Four youths have harrowing experience in Alabama backwoods.

Four young men camped on a companion's land and heard approaching grunts, heavy footsteps and foul odor across a creek at dusk. After a rock was thrown toward the unseen sounds, something shrieked, circled the camp and emitted a loud high-pitched scream, prompting them to leave and later return with a parent. The primary witness heard noises again overnight, and the next morning the group found large footprints, hair and a bedding area before the primary witness briefly saw a tall hair-covered upright creature that looked at him and ran away.
